Number package

The Number package contains actions that enable you to perform various operations on a number variable. A number variable holds numeric values, including integers and decimals. It holds values from -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807, and up to 15 decimal digits.

Actions in the Number package

The actions in the Number package accept a variable as an input and assign the output to a variable. These actions enable you to assign a value to a Number variable, decrement or increment a number, or convert a Number variable to a String variable.

You can use large numbers in number variables or in actions to perform mathematical operations. In the bot editor, use the actions menu (vertical ellipsis at the top-right) to select the Advanced settings > Enable improved number support.

Note: Ensure you update to the latest version of the package to use this feature.

The Number package includes the following actions:


Action	Description
Assign	Assigns a specified number or result of an expression to a user-defined Number variable. You can use expressions built using the +, -, , and / operators and use parentheses to group expressions. For example, (34)+5 or ($Variable2*$Variable3)/$Variable1. Enter a number or select a predefined Number variable. Select a predefined number variable or create a new one to hold the output.
Decrement	Decrements (decreases by set intervals) a number by a user-specified value. Enter a number or select a predefined Number variable. Enter the decrement value or select a predefined Number variable. Select a predefined number variable or create a new one to hold the output.
Increment	Increments (increases by set intervals) a number by a user-specified value. Enter a number or select a predefined Number variable. Enter the increment value, the value must be greater than zero or select a predefined Number variable. Select a predefined number variable or create a new one to hold the output.
Random	Generates a random integer from a user-specified range and assigns it to a number variable. In the Beginning of range field, enter a number or select a predefined number variable. Note: This field accepts values in the range of -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 through 9,223,372,036,854,775,807, and up to 15 decimal digits. In the End of range field, enter a number or select a predefined number variable that is greater than the value in the Beginning of range field. Note: This field accepts values in the range of -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 through 9,223,372,036,854,775,807, and up to 15 decimal digits. Enter the number of digits after the decimal by selecting the Specify number of decimals check box. Select a predefined number variable or create a new one to hold the output.
To string	Converts a user-specified number to a string. Enter a number or select a predefined Number variable. Enter the amount of digits after the decimal. To remove all the digits after the decimal, leave the default value of 0. Assign the output to a String variable. You can use `prompt-assignment` during building and testing of the bot. Important: Ensure that you reassign the values from `prompt-assignment` to a user-created variable before deploying the bot into production.
